I maged to get the Cursor update Ok by wrapping the work stuff in a new
thread like this:

<Event handler>
Set the cursor to wait.

Thread WorkThread - new Thread (){
public void run(){

... work stuff

Set the cursor back to default

}
}
WorkThread.start();

However I find that I have to set the cursor on each component in the JFrame
as setting the cursor on a Frame is deprecated. What is the new way to set
the cursor on an entire JFrame?
